However, when we will actually see the Nintendo Switch 2 remains something of a mystery.

It is worth noting that this rumour has been machine-translated from Chinese and has not officially been translated butNintendoPrime is pretty adamant about its findings.

The translation also goes on to reveal that there are already shipments of the handheld in various regions and they come in at around 650,000 units.

If we compare this with the number of units of the Nintendo Switch back in 2017 which was 2,740,000, this is quite a significant difference.

Last but not least, the rumour ends with a claim about the Switch 2’s components.

Components have already been made “in the hundreds of thousands since September” and the successor console’s T239 SOC has been shipped in large quantities.

As mentioned, it is worth taking this news with a pinch of salt due to it being a rumour that has been machine-translated.

However, if it does happen to be true, that means we will need to start saving now if we want to get our hands on the Nintendo Switch successor.
